Starting this fall, the Gophers will have the option of using the north sideline for their bench in late-season games.
that won't seem right
but, it's just odd enuff for PJ Barnum

Back home finally, hope to post some pics along the way.  They are on the Nikon.  I took my longer lens and used it never, again.

Used Lyft to get home and the first driver went to the Departures level at ATL Int Terminal.  Duh.  Then he called me and I said I was at the lower Arrivals level, and he then drove around to the Domestic terminal on the far side of the airport.  Another driver was a minute away, zoom.

We got into ATL almost an hour ahead of schedule, was in a 777, which is a nice plane I think.  Delta has something new similar to business class, ahead of Comfort where we were.  Premium Select I think it is called.  Seats and food nicer, not as pricey as Delta One, which is ridiculous.

I regret never having gone up to see Texas play them.  All of my friends that did had nothing but great reports.

The NFL has asked teams to eliminate some high-impact drills -- including the iconic Oklahoma drill -- from training camp practices as part of the league's ongoing effort to reduce concussions.

The league acknowledged the request Tuesday during its spring meeting in Key Biscayne, Florida. The recommendation came in response to data that showed a high rate of concussions during the early part of training camp in recent years. The league convened an April 17 meeting among current and former NFL players, coaches and executives to discuss ways that would address the issue.

Not that I specifically disagree with it, but as much as the in game rule changes, the increasing limit on padded contact practice is hurting the running game.  Run blocking is complex, and without the padded practices, it's tough, particularly out of the gate.  Pass blocking is hard, but it's not complicated beyond the QB calling out protection audibles.  And you can do that without contact.  You have practices that are glorified 7 on 7s, you wind up with football that sort of looks like that.

This is what I envision Texas HS football to be now.
I loved doing the Oklahoma drill - as a short lineman, I always had leverage and wasn't going backwards, lol.

The Bretons have an interesting history, and at times have sought independence from France.  Some still speak Breton, a Celtic language related to Welsh and Irish, which makes sense as they largely immigrated from those two places.  They are in effect displaced Britons, the Celts in England before the Romans, the Saxons, the Danes, and the Normans.  German fortifications are still around in places, I did not see the massive sub pens this trip.  Brest was almost destroyed in the war and is not very interesting, we were told, today.

any Game of Thrones fans? My god did they ruin the greatest show ever with a mediocre 7th season and an abomination of a final 8th season. Pretty remarkable that they could take maybe the greatest show ever and completely ruin it in 2 seasons.
